How long before one of these things comes crashing down on someone's head?

[Derek Stubbs]

I try not to fly over peoples heads, this view came from an area with closed offices & never encroached over the stadium or a heavily populated area.

Having said that I know tv companies use them all the time in crowded places. Granada News has at least one.

Estate agents are using them to promote properties aswell.

Watching the India v Pakistan World Cup cricket match this morning & one was flying all around the pitch & stadium with about 40,000 inside.

It seamed to be positioned just behind the wicket keeper for quite a bit, he must have been able to hear it buzzing away behind him.

What's the legal situation with theses? Do they come with a disclaimer telling you you're ounallowed to go up to 100ft away from populated areas? Seen one video where the thing goes up to about 1,500ft above the cloud base and the guy loses the connection. If a few people started flying these around up to that height and one crashed down...

[blackpoolalty]

That said I find them quite interesting and the shots provided are excellent

[blackpoolalty]

Just read a BBC article about the legal do's and dont's. Quite interesting

When you lose signal, just as they do on all radio-controlled devices, and your device plummets earthwards, try telling the bloke at number 1 Golf Road that he's not in a heavily populated area as he picks the roof slates up in his back garden, whilst you do a runner.

As long as these things are legal they should legalise the use of shotguns in public places.
